Gulf Shores Alabama lodging choices are plentiful, with hotels, condos and vacation rental homes to suit nearly every taste and budget. Gulf Shores is somewhat unique from many other well known beach destinations in that there are significantly more condominiums here than there are hotels.
In fact, there are approximately five beach condominium rental units for every hotel room in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Also, there are quite a few vacation rental homes. This unusual mix of lodging choices fits well with the profile Gulf Shores has long held and embraced, as that of a destination for vacationing families. The condos and rental homes that proliferate along the Gulf Shores Alabama beaches are ideally suited for families seeking an extended vacation, typically offering fully furnished kitchens and more bedrooms / bathrooms than a typical hotel would offer. The hotels in the Gulf Shores - Orange Beach area tend to be more beach oriented than those in neighboring Florida Gulf Coast markets. Whereas Perdido Key and Destin have very little in the way of gulf front rooms to offer those seeking a hotel room, the greater Gulf Shores area offers 13 motels/hotels directly on the beach. Additionally, there are six or seven more hotels in the Gulf Shores area that are only a short distance from the beach.
